The infamous terror bird Titanis walleri, apex predator of Pleistocene Florida. This was drawn for the 20th anniversary of my favorite documentary Walking with Beasts #paleoart#dinosaur#dinosaurart#terrorbird#titanis#florida#walkingwith#walkingwithbeasts
If you see this, post a dinosaur! I don't do much paleoart these days anymore, but here are some of the last pieces I did that I liked.
#paleoctober day 3 and 4 in one. Iguanodon and Titanis. Thanks to homework and errands, I didn't get to get past the initial sketch for them, but I really, really like how they came out.
Due to college homework shenanigans, I wasn't able to draw yesterday's Paleoctober entry. Rather than skip it or force myself to draw two whole drawings, I'll draw both the 3rd and 4th prompts in the same drawing. So in this case, Titanis and Iguanodon. Oh God oh fuck. #paleoctober#SciArt
Sketch/Nota Não mudei a cauda, acho q ta bom assim mesmo, vou mudar um pouco as mãos pra parecer umas garras de Tigre. Essas Asas pequenas é por causa da ave q me baseei, as Asas das Titanis n serviam pra voar, mas Diana poderia usar seu poder de metal pra evoluir as asas, e ai sim voar.
BOK! Wikipedia's featured article (cuz it's mai homepage now cuz it has moar vetted facts than Google.) --Loki💛😺 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanis

Titanis is a genus of phorusrhacid, an extinct family of large, predatory birds, in the order Cariamiformes that inhabited the United States during the Pliocene and earliest Pleistocene. The first fossils were unearthed by amateur archaeologists Benjamin Waller and Robert Allen from the Santa Fe River in Florida and were named Titanis walleri by ornithologist Pierce Brodkorb in 1963, the species name honoring Waller. The holotype material is fragmentary, consisting of only an incomplete right tarsometatarsus and phalanx, but comes from one of the largest phorusrhacid individuals known. In the years following the description, many more isolated elements have been unearthed from sites from other areas of Florida, Texas, and California. The species was classified in the subfamily Phorusrhacinae, which includes some of the last and largest phorusrhacids like Devincenzia and Kelenken.
Só por curiosidade Uma coisa q eu achei q fosse ser legal, é q meus ocs, as especies deles fossem ser baseadas em animais pre-historico Brs, A Diana é uma Titanis. o Van Dragon n tem nenhum especifico pq n achei, mas a cauda dele seria de Titanoboa.. (apesar q eram extremamente gigantes)
You might be interested in the some of the extinct birds of Gondwanaland The Phorusrhacidae (see wikipedia) would have been scary as hell.
